The most marked characteristic of the Shotet people is directly translated as âarmored,â but outsiders might call it âmettle.â It refers not to courageous acts in difficult situationsâthough the Shotet certainly hold valor in high regardâbut to an inherent quality that cannot be learned or imitated; it is in the blood as surely as their revelatory language. Mettle is bearing up again and again under assaults. It is perseverance, acceptance of risk, and the unwillingness to surrender.
